Various – Jazz Jukebox on Shuffleplay
At 7:30 I drove to the Postal Depot to pick up the package containing the new jukebox – once filled, it shall be the “Jazz Jukebox”...
To HMV at lunchtime and a purchase made – a rarity it seems this month – up till now just the new Girls Aloud (a present from Anne), a Monkees Anthology, and the two Fripp & Eno re-masters have entered the collection this month, along with a couple of home made discs...
In the 2 for £10 scenario I bought two 2CD sets, one by The Stooges and one by the MC5...
I once owned the Stooges debut on vinyl and the MC5’s first too, the live album “Kick Out the Jams”, given to me around the summer of 1976 by Count Brodski and tracks from which appeared on my “punk rock” tape which, along with such luminaries as the Pistols, the Damned, the Velvets and The Beatles ("Helter Skelter", what else?), graced the prefects’ room cassette player that autumn...
A tasty tea of Anne’s home made Macaroni, tonight with some bacon strips added...
Spent much of the evening listening to the Stooges and the MC5 while I loaded over 2,700 jazz tracks into the new jukebox...
The headphone socket is not faulty...
A double bill of “Big Bang Theory” did its usual Wednesday night job of entertaining...
Two more Anthology tracks, two of my favourite songs of the last ten years...
ANTHOLOGY 1999
CLOUDLAND BLUE QUARTET – A NICE JOB IN A SMALL TOWN
From the album “Doveloveshawk”, the lyric is based on a sentence uttered by Brian Eno in an interview with Paul Morley when discussing Eno's dad’s job as a postman...
ANTHOLOGY 2000
CLOUDLAND BLUE QUARTET – TWENTY TWENTY VISION
From the album “Ampersand” in 2002 but recorded two years earlier, possibly the only song I wrote in 2000 – a stream of conciousness lyric, influenced perhaps by a memory I have of, as a young boy, seeing my mum tripping on a paving stone and falling over in the street, her shopping going everywhere...
She wasn’t drunk though...
Highlight of the day : A new jukebox that works...
